The Blind Watchmaker

By the way, Richard Dawkins is a very famous atheist evolutionist.

He wrote a book called The Blind Watchmaker.

Because, you know, he's trying to answer William Paley's argument about the watch and the watchmaker.

But here's what he said.

But that's all they have.

When I graduated from college in 1985, the first book I read after I graduated was The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins.

I know what his worldview is.

I know what his view of neo-Darwinian micro-mutational evolutionary theory is.

What's your secret sauce? And I would just answer it in this long-winded, very unorganized way.

But then I read Richard Dawkins' book, The Blind Watchmaker, and it hit me.

Our success at the firm, it didn't come from one particular thing or a lightning bolt moment.

It came from just years of these small micro changes, just one step at a time.

And he raised all these questions with the book of Genesis, with the Old Testament, with the New Testament.

And at the same time, I had read this book called The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins.

And as many of your listeners probably aware, Richard Dawkins is considered a patron saint of atheism.

So he's written many books about why Christianity and religion in general is not true and how when you look at nature, you really see just blind, pitiless indifference.

And I suppose this is a question maybe more philosophical or spiritual, and that is...

On this end of things, everything seems so clear to you.

Even though you had embraced the blind watchmaker thesis for a moment, at some point you had become open to the possibility of another explanation.

I guess that's what I'm trying to get to is that why you, why were you able to see and make a journey forward and others are still stuck in the matrix, right?
